Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX), in conjunction with Fujitsu
Network Communications, Inc., announced today the successful transmission of
data at rates of 400 Gbps and 800 Gbps over MAX’s optical network from
Baltimore, MD, to McLean, VA, during a field trial based in College Park, MD.
The week-long trial, which is the first ever to demonstrate Fujitsu’s new
super-channel capabilities on a deployed network, showed that MAX will be able
to provide a 400 Gbps-capable networking infrastructure to the surrounding
research and education (R&E) community, as well as blaze a future path to
even higher speeds on the existing installed base of equipment.
